Architecture, Engineering, & Construction
Enable complex, resource-intensive design and engineering suites – including Revit, Civil 3D, and AutoCAD – to run seamlessly on any virtual or physical Windows endpoint, transforming modern infrastructure and construction operations.
The Use Case
Modernizing Windows Operations for Global Engineering and Construction Leaders
For multidisciplinary consultancies, architectural firms, and engineering enterprises managing complex project delivery across the property, infrastructure, environment, and energy markets, delivering resource-heavy applications across virtual desktop infrastructure and physical endpoints.
Traditional packaging tools and legacy delivery mechanisms struggle with massive software suites like Autodesk Revit and Civil 3D, leading to severe performance bottlenecks, complex licensing compliance tracking, and slow workstation provisioning.
Numecent application container technologies enable AEC organizations to maximize application virtualization coverage and seamlessly provision them across all Windows endpoints, including those running on Windows 11 and Windows on Arm.
Key Capabilities
Rapidly Provision Resource-Intensive Applications Without Compatibility, Performance, or Licensing Issues
Deliver a consistent, high-performance application experience for architects, designers, and project engineers across offices, remote workspaces, and job sites regardless of the underlying hardware.
Maximize CAD and BIM App Compatibility
Containerize massive engineering software packages—including Autodesk Revit, Civil 3D, and AutoCAD—using Cloudpaging technology to ensure native-like performance and complete compatibility on virtual desktop environments like Azure Virtual Desktop.
Centralized Cloud Management
Cloudpager establishes a single pane of glass to dynamically provision, update, meter, and manage your entire application estate in a highly automated fashion; including legacy versions of key project software.
License Metering and Compliance Controls
Leverage comprehensive application usage metering and reporting to ensure strict adherence to corporate governance, regional regulations, and complex software auditing frameworks across geographies.
Automate Software Provisioning and Setup
Eliminate manual application installations that traditionally drain IT resources by automating application configurations based on where and how your employees work by containerizing applications.
Support Project-Based Workspaces
Utilize Cloudpager Storefronts and Workpods to automatically assign application suites based on role or project requirements, allowing engineers to rapidly switch between different versions of specialized design tools and plugins.
Enable Offline Application Access
Empower field engineers, site inspectors, and project managers to take resource-intensive virtualized design applications completely offline when working on remote construction sites with limited or intermittent connectivity.
